The flat was ok, very central to the town, all the self catering facilities were great.

Unfortunately the bed was poor, a good night sleep was very difficult to achieve.
The bathroom could do with a little more attention to detail.

Location and having parking on site. Shower room and bedroom were well appointed and spacious. Kitchen had most of the utensils etc that we needed and had plenty of crockery for us.

The stools at the breakfast bar were uncomfortable to use.
To start with we couldn't find the entrance to the property as we were not aware it was behind shops.

Sehr zentrale Lage zwischen allen shops, aber im Hinterhof hinter einem Restaurant gelegen, also kein Verkehrslärm. Kurze Wege überallhin (Hafen, Strand). Parken direkt vor der Haustür, das gibts in Seahouses sonst kaum. Nette Nachbarn.
Sehr klein aber ok. Alles da, Fön, Staubsauger usw.

Die EG-Wohnung ist ein bisschen blöd: vorn gaffen die Restaurant-Mitarbeiter durchs Fenster, auf der andren Seite des Zimmers ist der öff. Parkplatz, d.h. die Parker gehen direkt am Fenster vorbei. Ein Sichtschutz für tagsüber (Store) wär gut.
Lästig fand ich, dass der Anbieter mehrfach versuchte, mir telefonisch Zusätzliches zu verkaufen (1 Tag mehr; früheres Einchecken).

Beautiful apartment, spotlessly clean.Situated behind the restaurants and shops on the main street. We didn't hear much noise from the restaurant and it was great to be provided with a car parking space.Perfect location for a short stay, walking distance to the harbour, shops and restaurants. Thank you for a lovely stay.

The apartment is tucked away beheind a row of shops but we found it very quiet. It is convenient to walk to all the shops and restaurants in town which are very close by. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. I've found self-catering accomodation for two people hard to come by outside cities so this was a find.

The Host web site don’t make it easy to track down the key box code. I left about 4 phone call messages as no one answers their phone, it was just my wife ringing me saying that she had seen a message at home.
I now have a very long email basically saying the same thing over and over and over again.

Location superb in a lovely sea fishing village with all you need as soon as you walk out the door pub, fish n chips, harbour,
Co-op store and Beaches.

wi-fi was crap could not stream from Netflix account etc it worked a little better but not much if you move the router to the back of the tv instead of on the little table its on as i think the overhead electric cables out side the window interfere with the signal then and only then did ITV .. BBC and other work better but still had small issues.

The access was up a flight of steep metal steps and along wooden decking, which hadn't been made clear to us and was a bit hazardous in rain and frost. (From the listing, we actually thought it was the flat above the bakery at No. 38 Main Street and only discovered it's location when we called Host and Stay on arrival to check where to park).

The addres should include a few extra indications. The flat is inside the courtyard at no.1. We were confused on arrival (night time) with a sign on a door facing the main street. A key box with 4 digits was there but we received a code for the key with 3 digits. We had to call and ask the local restaurant before eventually finding the flat and it's corresponding key box with 3 digits.

We had a lovely week in Seahouses based at this accommodation. We had an issue initially finding the accommodation but the hosts were very helpful and once we had found it, got in easily.
Accommodation was clean and tidy. We personally found some of the other reviews a little harsh towards the location. It is looking out over a car park (a large one but we didn’t feel like the world and his wife was over looking us) and yes on the other side of the parking area is an Indian takeaway and a bakery (both do lovely food) but it didn’t cause us any issues. Don’t go expecting a view, but you are in the heart of everything and the view is only a minute away.
Because the accommodation was so good we did find we noticed some small things like a lack of oven glove and some cooking utensils were missing but this is only being picky.
If you are staying in and around Seahouses the Bamburgh Castle Inn looks over the harbour and is the best for breakfast, lunch, dinner & a tipple.
Enjoy!

Overall the place is nice and clean. Some of the walls are scratched and could do with a lock of paint.
Check in instructions could have been clearer in terms of being on the main street and where it turn in the very tight turning to get behind the buildings.
I did not enjoy the assumption that every guest will break something and has to be held accountable, I didn't see this initially before booking and had I known I would not have booked.
You have to pay £25 extra for a waiver for cover up to £500 of damages - non refundable
Or £250 credit card deposit which is refundable but you are charged an admin fee of £10 and you cannot get a refund if you cancel your booking. A lesson learnt from myself however it was hard to find on the information.
Nice place but wouldn't stay again

Seahouses is a great location and very handy to have an allocated parking space below the flat. Seahouses is a great base to explore Northumberland from and is a lovely village to stay in. The ‘Seafarers’ flat had the basics and was tidy. The property guidebook was useful.

Very uncomfortable bed - at first I thought it was just a firm mattress (and that’s a matter of preference) but when it came time to go to bed, I could not only feel but also hear every spring in the mattress. The popping and tinging of the springs woke me up every night and it was just lumpy, tough and uncomfortable. I would recommend that the mattress and pillows are replaced soon. I didn’t sleep well once during my stay.

The ‘Seafarers’ property info on Host and Stay website is not current and doesn’t all apply to this flat. The photos are also different as it has clearly been redecorated since they were taken. It is mostly the same, however, the photos and list of amenities both feature a bathtub and now there is just a walk-in shower, which was disappointing.

I was not impressed that shortly before my stay I was informed that I needed to pay an additional damage waiver/insurance before I arrived. This meant that I paid more than quoted on the property listing, despite having already booked and paid. It was not made clear a time of booking.

Views only of car parks from front and rear of property but on a clear day you could see the distant outline of Bamburgh Castle, though the window was very dirty to look through.

The apartment is clean, well-furnished and very central, we were lucky to get parking in the back courtyard. The bakery below the apartment did get late deliveries. I knew this in advance from other reviews and took earplugs. The bedrooms were large though could do with a small set of drawers for clothes, there was plenty of room. Kitchen/Diner was well stocked but Seahouses has plenty of places to eat out, we only had breakfast and snacks there.

I didn't like the fact we had to pay an extra damage insurance amount on top of the rental amount quoted by Booking.com This is not made clear when you viewed and subsequently booked the property. I feel this is sneaky and should be made clear at the time of viewing/booking. Some of the reviews we read about Ironside did not apply to the property we rented. This was very confusing.

Lovely apartment, with everything you needed supplied for your stay.
Very spacious and clean, loved the size of the bathroom! (they're normally quite tight for space!) Plenty of storage and a good size hanging rail for clothes!
Very comfortable overall. (apart from the bed!)

(a) The steps to get into the apartment are like fire escape ones. I always was a bit wary of going up and down them, especially if it was a bit damp.
(b) The bed! The mattress was so springy!! You only had to touch it and you could feel the springs. Once in it, it squeaked with every move and when one person moved the other got bounced about!
Didn't have a good night's sleep all week. (we actually came home a day early to our own bed!!)

Being forced to pay extra hidden charges for insurance Left me feeling cheated. Should have been included in price. It was like a ryanair add on. Property extremely noisy at night with deliveries for bakery below curtains completely Inadequate not lined So was too light in the mornings No hairdryer. Dishwasher would be more useful than a washing machine for a holiday break. No visitor book for recommendations. No helpful leaflets for local businesses - I felt the information guide a little lazy not everybody wants to use the phone all the time. What if? if you don’t have an iPhone. Need Window pole to shut windows As they are are so high. Felt foolish for only reading reviews after I had arrived. I see that most of the issues I am informing you are have already been raised.

Like Seahouses so went for three days.

This property insisted on cover me insurance despite other cleaning and hosting costs . Host & Stay insisted we take this out prior to giving us the key safe code. The system was down and I had to call them repeatedly before I was helped wasting my time and causing me anxiety on holiday. We were given the choice of paying a non refundable £25 or paying £250 with £240 being returned to us two weeks later . Unexpected costs for a short break which were excessive.
The apartment was a bit spartan and located in a car park at the rear of a curry house.
Will stay in a hotel next time.

The management company. Lied about the mandatory deposit, and only sent me that information teh day that my free cncallation had expired. I was backed into a corner to pay either a bond or make a deposit payment by card which is not fully refundable - even though the listing says it is. This is sharp practice - even the worst budget airline tell you they are going to shaft you in advance, not wait unti you can't do anything about it. If these are unavoidable costs, incude them in the headline pricing. Booking.com should take them to taks over this.

Lovely bright apartment, good size rooms with high ceilings. We had everything we needed. Located on the High Street, a short walk to the harbour. Lots of restaurants and tourist shops near by and a Coop for grocery shopping directly across the road.

Parking is in the courtyard behind the building and initialy there was a problem, as the space behind the flat has a 'no parking' notice on the wall. We still parked there as that is what our instructions said, but then someone started putting notes of 'no parking' on our windscreen. With help from the company and the bakery underneath the flat we were given a different place to park the next day.
The curtains in the bedroom are very thin, so if you are a light sleeper and wake up when the room gets light (4.30AM) take an eye mask.

The location was good as it was right in the heart of the town. The downside is the front of the property looks out over the rear entrance to an Indian restaurant and all the bins. The rear door into the restaurant kitchen was open all the time. It was noisy and delivery drivers were coming and going all evening. The rear window looks out over a car park. The accommodation has all the facilities as described. The place is fairly clean but lacks attention to detail. Dust and fluff along skirting boards and edges of the floor. If you’re looking for quiet or romantic to relax in then this probably isn’t the place.

Not happy with the access to the apartment. It states there is stairs but doesn't tell you they are external metal fire escape type staircase., that gets slippy when wet. Miss advertising. I am a 76 year old lady who has difficulty walking but can manage internal staircases but really struggled with theses steps. Wouldn't have gone to the property if I'd known about the access situation . I feel that in future it should clearly state on the accommodation that tge steps are external and not suitable for everyone.

Location very convenient and central.
Living area and main bedroom were spacious, clean, bright and airy.
The bathroom was clean and large. Good shower.
The bed was very comfy.

We were very surprised to be asked to pay an additional (non refundable) fee of either £10 or £25, prior to travel, for damage waiver. This should be clearly advertised, or included in the original cost of the booking.
The information for both parking and rubbish disposal were very unclear and unhelpful. We messaged for clarification re parking on arrival. Our second text message was ignored. We were advised to park in the designated parking area. There wasn't one.
The kitchen area was tiny, with no usable work surface. Many plates, dishes etc were still in original shop packaging, the mugs still had Ikea stickers attatched. Plates and glasses were stored in a pantry type cupboard along, with the mop and vacuum!
There was no dishwasher, one was advertised.
Both bedrooms really need a minimum of an additional chest of drawers and / or dressing table. The only storage for clothes was a clothes rail. We lived out of our bags for a week. There was no hairdryer.
The appartment appeared to have been very recently decorated, and stocked / furnished. (It smelt of paint initially).
I really hope these issues are just teething problems, but this apartment really didn't feel anything like fully prepared for guests, or particularly welcoming.

I honestly could not fault anything with the property, great central location and Seahouses is very close to many different places. The apartment was in perfect condition and decorated brilliantly, it made us feel very at home and comfortable here. The hosts provided many additional facilities that we did not expect, and communication was great leading up to our stay. Very spacious shower, water pressure wasn't the best but this was not an issue at all for us. If you have mobility issues the upstairs apartment would not be suitable due to the fire escape entry, but this was no issue for us and was stated in the booking. We didn't want to leave and would absolutely be back again to stay! ! Couldn't recommend enough :)

First the pros: The location was great. In the evening, the neighbourhood was surprisingly quiet. The flat had just about everything I needed (could do with an oven mitt and spatula). And there is a dedicated parking space for one vehicle.
Now the cons: For the price, I would expect a more comfortable bed. I don’t struggle with back issues, but this one left mine aching. The flat wasn’t as clean as I would have liked. Some of the bowls had food stuck to them, and the shower hose is covered in black gunk that falls off when it’s being used (something regular cleaning would solve). The person living upstairs can be heard walking around their flat day and night. The front and the back of the flat overlook car parks, so there isn’t much privacy. And (for me, personally) I was contacted too often before, during and after my stay.

Easy walk to the Harbour to take a ferry to Farne Islands. We walked along the gorgeous coastline from Seahouses to Bamburgh Castle and back which is roughly 3 miles each way. We ate at The Black Swan in Seahouses and the food was delicious. To be fair the it is a convenient location.
The only drawback to this property is that it sits in between the back of a restaurant and a carpark. That being said, we were out most of the time and on a night time, once we got in, there was no noise and cosy and warm.

We had a lovely stay in Seahouses, it’s a lovely place to be by the sea and there’s lots of pubs and lovely walks to go on. We also ventured out to Bamburgh and Holy Island, which was made possible by having the car and a dedicated parking space.
The property itself is hidden behind the Main Street which was a little bit difficult to work out. As previous reviews have said, it is between a bakers/Indian restaurant and a car park. I was a bit worried about this at first, but it turned out not to be a problem at all! We couldn’t really hear anything from outside once in the property.
The property was clean and tidy on arrival and was the perfect size for a little getaway for 2! It was so much nicer coming back to our own space rather than a hotel room.
We would definitely come back again!

Communication with the team at Host & Stay was prompt, informative & helpful throughout our stay, we had a slight issue regarding the cooking hob on our arrival, we raised this with the team and it was dealt with very promptly and with zero impact on our stay, spotlessly clean, well equipped and very comfortable. Safe parking by front door ( easy for unloading etc), decent food outlets and supermarket all within under a 10 min walk. Our first trip/stay to the area and I really can't say enough about the place ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We stayed for 2 nights - 2 adults and 1 baby
Pros:
- close to lots of amenities in Seahouses - very handy
- modern, warm apartment - electric radiators are very toasty
- mostly spotlessly clean
Cons:
- not a fan of having £10 of my security deposit deducted as an ‘admin fee’. Fair enough if a guest has actually caused some damage that you’d then add an admin charge, but to have this when returning the deposit in full is unusual and not something I’ve ever come across before. Just increase your price per stay instead
- apartment is located behind a busy Indian restaurant and the bedroom window backs onto the service yard/their rear entrance. You get the expected noise around 11ish when staff are clearing up and leaving etc. One night they also started a fire (?!) in an oil drum - the smell came into our apartment at 11.30 and we woke in a panic thinking the apartment itself was on fire. Clear this isn’t the fault of the hosts, but it’s important people are aware of its location

The walkway that leads to the apartment had restricted access due to a seat partially blocking path approximately 12 inches to squeeze past ,( bearing in mind the access is on upper floor looking down 15ft) also the decking that was on staircase walkway was a tad slippery when wet . In my opinion an accident waiting to happen. Apartment not suitable for people with mobility issues!

Apartment lovely although smaller than anticipated and lacking comfort. OK for use as a base. Location although already aware of it it was very disappointing. Two views , the back of shops & a restaurant from kitchen window. The sights outside the back of the restaurant were an eyeopener. The second view , the main car park in Seahouses was the view from the lounge area. A high pitched humming could be heard in the bedroom at night ? from a generator affected my ears . I wore ear buds & played music to block it . Excess noise from the flat above at night and early morning a problem , sounded like furniture being moved around. Seahouses is one of our favourite places and this year we were recuperating and not traveling to other places like we normally would so the apartment was very convenient for all the places we wanted to be near to and handy for bobbing back to during the day. We made good use of the shops, restaurants and takeaways as they were literally on the doorstep.We also frequented the spa across the car park.

I did not like communicating with three parties . Booking.com, Host and Stay and the link to Super hog to make payment for damage waiver cover. The humming from the generator . The views which are fleetingly mentioned in the details when advertised on all sites but although we know the area very well still came as a disappointment .

Location was ideal, situated in the centre of town with an allotted parking space. Everything we needed was in the apartment from cooking to cleaning. A very nice place to stay.

The mattress on the bed was the biggest issue for both me and my wife. We both said it was the worst mattress we had ever slept on it was so uncomfortable, this has been mentioned in previous posts. I also think if you have 2 cleaners coming in after your stay they could do a better job ie make sure all pots and pans are clean and the portable hoover is emptied of debris, just little touches I know. I also had to report damage to freezer door (broken )and worktop as I’d paid an insurance on the property.

Poor access due to neighbours outdoor bench blocking the stairway. Bed so uncomfortable and castors on laminate floor made it very dangerous. Was once very nice but a bit shabby now I took multi purpose wipes as usual and needed them to give everything a once over but I am a bit picky like that.

Excellent location - right in the middle of Seahouses, so only needed to use the car once during the 4 night stay. Apartment had all the basics you needed . So ideal for two people...

The metal stairs up to the apartment are fine for the fit and healthy and if you're very careful but could be a bit tricky if you're not great on your feet. It was dry and sunny during our stay... in winter the steps might be a bit more difficult...

The apartment was central and near all amenities.

The entrance to the apartment was through an alley way and into a back court. There was lots of litter lying about and the front door actually faces the rear of a bakers shop and an Indian restaurant. The stairs up to the apartment were fairly steep and an elderly or infirm person would struggle. Sofa could do with a good clean and the apartment itself could do with a freshen up. Also Wifi does not work.

Good commuincations leading up to the stay clear guidance for picking up the keys and lock box code

We have stayed at this property before
But this time we felt it was very tired not very clean not sure if the host is checking or who they are using to clean but the bedroom was very dusty the bathroom was not clean the shower head was filthy and the kitchen area had a 3 legged table and this lead to a smal bowl being broken as it fell off
The bathroom grouting is in poor condition which just makes it not feel like a nice clean place to stay
If it was charged at “budget” rates then you would overlook this but the cost at circa £120 per night we expected the place to be a lot cleaner

A long mirror would be a bonus. Also we received about 15 messages from Host and Stay through email, text and on Booking.com messages which was a bit much including about 5 messages telling us we had to leave at 10am. A few less messages would have been better.

The flat itself was really lovely, clean and bright with everything we needed.

Unfortunately the bathroom had the worse smell ever. We opened the window and left fan on but it didn't make much difference. It was so bad i felt I couldnt stay in there too long, no showering. It was obvious there was a problem as there were several air fresheners all in one area. As we were only stopping 3 nights not showering wasn't really a problem, a week would of been different though.

Brilliant central location. Reserved parking right outside the apartment. Immaculately clean. Comfy bed. Great shower. Lots of space. Every facility. A few essentials were already on site, kitchen roll, toilet rolls, tea, coffee, sugar, etc.

To make the apartment perfect the bedroom needs a mirror. We took the console table (not needed in the kitchen) into the bedroom to use as a dressing table to the left of the radiator, but there was no mirror. Girls need to do makeup and hair.

It would have been useful to be told it was behind No38 and you needed to drive down the ally beside 38. Also it was Flat 1, the documents said Ocean Pearl which is fine but Flat 1 makes more sense.

A small dining table and 2 chairs would have been good for eating in, there's plenty of space for these.

Lovely, very clean flat, and ideal location! It’s a ground floor flat with the front overlooking the back of a restaurant and the back overlooking a car park, but pretty quiet given the central location, and with the sea so close by, we didn’t mind not having a great view!

It was the perfect stay! Great location, extremely clean and comfy!! Seahouses is stunning and has the best fish and chips which is only a 2minute walk away! We enjoyed many a beach walk during our stay and even walked to Bambrugh which is only 3miles along the beach! Great value for money, I will definitely be returning here again!

Flat was clean and comfortable

The location of the flat was a bit disappointing but only because it was round the back of commercial properties which were a bit unattractive and perhaps a little smelly. Sort of surrounded by commercial waste skips!
No one's fault but this would definitely deter me from re booking.

Personally I found the bed a little soft, I prefer a firmer bed but I recognise that's subjective so I wouldn't mark the property down for it.

The property is very well equipped and everything is immaculate. It is very well placed right in the centre of Seahouses, within a couple of minutes walk from the shops, restaurants and pubs.

There were large windows that only had roller blinds, so everyone walking past in the public car park or going into the adjoining properties could see right in.
The ceiling lights in the lounge/kitchen were very bright, a couple of lamps or an uplighter would have given a softer light.

The accommodation was clean and comfortable. Although the location is very central in Seahouses, it’s only fair that people should know that opposite the property is the back of a very busy Indian restaurant with the associated late night staff noises. On the other is a very busy main carpark that is also running until late. Also be aware that the alley way entrance has scaffolding up the walls on both sides. Anything wider than a standard saloon could pose a problem and should be approached with caution.

The property was close to shops and some nice eating places. It was well equipped and everything was clean and in good working order. There was plenty of wardrobe space. The shower room/toilet was roomy with a large shower cubicle and the bed was comfortable. Great places to visit in the area including Alnwick Castle, Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island and our favourite, a Farne Islands Boat Trip.

It was a bit tight to get our large car into the parking area as there was scaffolding on the buildings either side of the entrance. There was one allocated parking space, once when we came back from a day out someone had parked in it but they did move it when asked. The view from the property is not great, a car park at the front and the back of shops where the entrance door was, there was rubbish and cigarette butts right outside the entrance door which didn't give a good first impression.

The location was central & there was plenty of hot water.

The apartment was behind shops that left there piles of rubbish out,the staircase leading up to the flat had rubbish,cigarette butts & large weeds one of which I had to move as it was prickly.There was also empty alcohol bottles lying from people hanging about.The flat itself was perfectly serviceable.However there was dust & fluff on the headboard top hair hairs from previous occupiers in the bath plughole.In times like this when hygiene is meant to be top priority I then started to think if the flat had been properly cleaned between letts! The bed was beyond uncomfortable it was a brick board I eventually got up & slept on the couch.My partner was suffering from a sore back due to how uncomfortable it was.

This is a lovely new place, it's a little smaller than it looks on the photos but adequately big enough for a cozy stay for two. couldn't be a better location, right in the middle of town, but set back from the road so nice and quiet. 20 seconds to coop and bakers, 2 minutes to the pub. Bit pricey I think for size but probably paying for location. oh and the bathroom is behind the wardrobe sliding doors, I thought it didn't have one for a moment 😀

We had a fantastic stay at the Ocean Pearl apartment in Seahouses. The apartment has clearly recently been renovated and was very stylish and comfortable. We had everything we could have needed for our stay and it was very clean. The location is perfect for all of Northumberland’s attractions and it was lovely to be able to walk down to the harbour and along the coast to Bamburgh. It’s very central and a real plus that it has its own parking space.
The businesses and neighbours nearby were very quiet and we had a couple of great nights sleep. Hope we can stay again in the future.
